Question

i have an AsyncTask that gets executed when the app starts up. on a galaxy S with android 2.1 on it, this AsyncTaks gets not always executed. i realize that there is a max of 5 AsyncTaks that can be running at the same time, but i actually assumed that this is per app and because this one is executed on the app startup i am certain that there are no other ones running at this point.

is there a way to check if the AsyncTask can be executed at this time or to increase the maximum number of running AsyncTasks or anything that might help me with that problem?

the AsyncTask itself is very simple and gets executed in the UI thread

new AsyncTask<Integer, Void, Void>(){
@Override
protected Void doInBackground(Integer... arg0) {
    …
    return null;
}

protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
    …
}
}.execute(myVal);

thanks
Simon

OK, i’ve got it. there were some old AsyncTasks from previous app starts that got somehow stuck.
